Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation announces scholarship recipients

The Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation is pleased to announce it has awarded $30,000 in scholarships to students furthering their education goals in the 2014-2015 academic year.

"The Foundation strongly believes in the importance of a sound education for tomorrow's industry leaders," says Scott Langemeier, president of the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation. "Thanks to the generosity of many donors and participants of the Retail Value Steer Challenge, our primary fundraiser, we were able to award these 30 scholarships, the greatest number in the 46 year history of the Foundation."

The following scholarship recipients will be recognized during the Nebraska Cattlemen Midyear Meeting in Gothenburg, Neb. Thursday, June 12, at the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation Lunch.

Established in 1968, the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation's mission is to advance the future of Nebraska's Beef industry by investing in research and education programs. The Foundation's success and its ability to endow scholarships, to sponsor leadership and education programs, assist with research and infrastructure projects has been possible only because of the support from the Nebraska cattle producers and allied industries.
